1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundEndometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) mainly includes endometrioid ovarian cancer (ENOC) and clear cell ovarian cancer (CCOC). The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) revealed four molecular subtypes of endometrial cancer (EC) in 2013, which have been proven pivotal in the diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic domains of EC. Existing evidence indicates that EC and EAOC molecular analysis have similar significance. This review aims to investigate the distribution, staging and prognostic characteristics of molecular subtypes in EAOC.

methodsPubMed, Embase and Web of Science were systematically searched from January 2013 to December 2023 using predefined keywords. Patient characteristics, including stage and prognostic characteristics, were extracted from the selected studies. Data analysis was carried out using Stata 14MP.

resultsA total of 6 studies involving 1,133 patients with ENOC and 4 studies comprising 377 patients with CCOC were included. ENOC had a higher frequency of the POLE mutation (POLEmut) subtype (odds ratio (OR) = 2.29, 95% CI: 1.03-5.11,

conclusionThe TCGA subtypes of EC may exhibit similarities in prognosis between ENOC and CCOC.
